Citadelle No Mistake Old Tom Gin

In 1775, King Louis XVI. granted Carpeau and Stival the right to open the first French gin distillery in the old citadel of Dunkirk. Two centuries later, Alexandre Gabriel created the current recipe for Citadelle Gin.

Picardy wheat, wild juniper and 18 other hand-picked exotic herbs provide the foundation for this dry gin.
Wheat is mixed with pure spring water from Angeac/Cognac and fermented with special yeast. The gin is distilled at the Logis D'Angeac domaine using Charentaiser pot stills, which are used to distill cognac from November to the end of March.
The gin is distilled three times and mixed with a fine macerate of aromatic plants to be distilled a fourth time.
